 Stev...... that mean il be busy with your car AGAIN!!! lol

right just heard back from them

Most clubs stands will be outside this year

What sort of cars can you offer and how many?

I recon they will be looking for modded cars,not just any old ones

so what have we got to offer?

nah m8 its not just modded cars they are looking for but good clean cars, last year on the mondeo owners club stand we had 12 cars outside and only about 3 of them were modded to any degree :)

the plots are usually really big, im deffo up for this one , the camping last year was awesome but i stayed in the hilton hotel which is just 1 mile down the road from the show ground

cool

So did you have your car on show last year?

If so what was the set up as far as dropping cars off?

yeah the mondy was on show and attracted a fair bit of attention as the car was on a corner section

dropping cars off was str8 forward u que up tell the guys that your part of the club etc then u get let thru to the next set of gates and get your weekend passes etc and pass to show on the dashboard etc

if its a club thing then you'll need to collect cars/number plate info from people so they can send out a pack to u, which will contain the pass for the car,

the show ground is massive and usual pitches are for around 12+ cars

ive got vid footage from the last one and it was a very entertaining day with showy type rides, demonstrations from russ swift the guy that does all that funky two wheel stuff with minis etc, simultaion rides in the big simulator and even passenger rides in exotic cars round the race track

all in all its a weekend not to be missed imho

oh and at night we all headed into town as the clubs and pubs are great fun in edinburgh  altho seeing as its only a one day event this year that might not be an option

Went to the show last year, war real good, properly organised.

I would be up for the stand if my car is accepted.

Alright people, i am well up for this and would love for my car to be on the stand. was there also last year and was a great event. Me and my mates will take yous on a night out in edinburgh afterwards!

Not according to there events

Was it not Fast car Full on at Edinburgh last year anyway?

right i have emailed and asked for 10-12 cars on stand

can you all pm me with model and reg and full name

PETE u have  pm!!

better start getting al my new toys im wanting for the car

I've offered M 8LUR up for the stand and leave it to organisers as to whether she's included.. (she was in the SS-R paddock last year). If she's indoors then it's a good way to keep her clean and give her the proper wrx. Only if BMW stand is indoors tho. Not doing outdoor stands any more.

Yer noo wrong Pete. Cheers anyway. Probably still come along in the mud plugger.

Pete,

What the heck - put me doon anyway.. with more M cars our stand could be a belter.. I'll bring my brolly tho. I'll send you specs in the next day or so. Okay?

Neil - can we get clubstand # plates made up for those that don't have them?

Jon

How much space are we getting.. if I recall rightly from last year - clubs got different allottments.

If someone can bring some buckets, car shampoo, wax and chamois cloths then we can make a concerted effort to get them cars shining..

well if everyone just takes there own stuff,i will be doing the car before hand so it will just need a touch up

I like my cars dirty

mell wrote: well if everyone just takes there own stuff,i will be doing the car before hand so it will just need a touch up

Fine if you have a big boot...

I see no problem in people sharing so as to get all the cars looking their best.

You show me yours Mell and I'll show you mine...

Good lad..

Ill be ther with the car anyway... but wheteher you want it on your stand or not is a different question :lol:

Should have my wheels painted black, with polished lips by then.  and my front valance re painted (courtesy of Amey Highways :D)

Allan

Pete - what sort of numbers signed up now.. might be good to double-check what room we'll have for numbers etc.

I have decided i am not orginizing this anymore due the lack of sence i get out of them,so someone else will have to do the contacting with them and the fact i have to much on at moment outside club (Yeh i do have a life sometimes)

If someone emails them and say i have already been in contact about a club stand for 10-15 cars and take it from there

My sympathies Pete - I had similar problems with F&M last year..

Tommy - can you get involved as EC?  I'll try to help where I can..

Stephen - PM me their number and who you were dealing with and Tommy and I will try to sort out.

Email is on link on page 1

they dont even give there name,so just email again if you like

Pete, Rikki from F+M is the mod of a Forum i use.  Ill ask him what is happening for you if you like.

Allan

Good idea Allan.. let us know.. we really want space for 20 cars minimum so we have plenty of space between cars. I've also emailed them but they need to get themselves sorted.. They weren't much better when I tried to book us into the Aberdeen show last year..

A strathy cruise boy then...?

Let us know what they say.

I got a reply back from Rikki, check your inboxes

Allan

 No way dude, i was just the messenger. (p.s. dont shoot me if it all goes wrong)

Allan

Also been speaking with Michael from Autorader - tried to push for an indoor spot but no-go so far.. good work Allan on calling upon your underworld contacts..

I think unless we get permission from James or Tommy then this event will be non-BMWCCGB.. so no club badges etc. Hopefully committee will approve by then..

IF it's sunny - SS-R did a BBQ last time and was a big hit.. [idea]

Cheers Davie... Will the car be reborn in time???

Allan

yip think so alan with a bit of luck lol..

quick update on this,spoke to michael at f&m today and he says that he will give a maximum of twelve spaces for cars,he also told me that he needs registration numbers in order to give out passes for show ect,when you arrive on the day of the show,at the entry gate each driver has to pay £5 and any additional passengers will pay £10 normal entry fee,when the driver pays his £5 he will recieve a goody bag containing various things including autoglym car polish.

so thats about as much as i know just now,hope this helps

Wait a mo - we have to pay to display at their show.. hmm.. what's the show without stands one wonders.. this is a new one. free entrance for exhibitors at FCFO last year. We also got the goody bag last year but it didn't cost a fiver and you certainly don't get a fiver's worth neither. Is this the Edinburgh parking mentality slipping in through the gates one wonders.. perhaps blue meanies will be in attendance...

I'm going to wait to hear from F&M as to whether they'll consider 8LUR for a 'top 50' spot... I reckon it's all filled and they're usually biased towards Jap or anything that runs at Strathy Cruise but there you go..

Do you recon i would of posted it on here if it were not BMW Car Club event?

Course its a club thing

Just get it orginized instead of talking about it LOL

fcfo last year had loads of money thrown at it by fast car,live promotions and a big variety of sponsers,f&m are doing this themselves and will be lucky if they break even as ingleston showground is very expensive to hire,plus loads of people have to be paid ie:stewards,health&safety,ambulance crew as they have to be onsite all day.

also dont see any prob with putting forward for a top 50 spot,they are not also biased as there will be jap stands there too and if you look at what there giving away thats a jap car is it not,they have featured loads of different cars from all walks of life and please remember this is a modified car show,whether it be body,performance or i.c.e installs anything goes so yes even 1ltr saxos and corsas if there good enough,cheers    davie

for anyone wanting to put there car forward for a top 50 spot information below

If you are interested in getting your car in the top 50 send an email to fraz@fastandmodified.com. Also if you are a member of a club and you are looking for a club stand then send your details to:l events@fastandmodified.com

What do you mean by this?

If we are having a BMW Car Club Scottish Region club stand then that means Scottish Region,not just Glasgow or Surrounding areas

right i think we need to hear wots happened with regards to contact emails etc as its getting out of hand now

has there been a confirmed booking for 12 places?

if not then im willing to take over and go ahead and sort out booking and payment etc

You have your 12 cars,so someone take control and contact the dude and give him there reg`s

I have everyones reg`s that pm`d me

Right folks, sorry I've not been involved in this thread sooner, I've just had it brought to my attention.

Pete can you pls PM me the relevant details for this event and also let me know your reasons for stepping back from taking this forward with the organisers.

Guys, if you can pls bear with me I will try and resolve this and get back to you with what the region plans to do with regard to this event and how it is to be run.

Thanks.

 Why are people grudging a fiver to get and also what is the problem with the original planns of the outdoor stand. Please dont let the plan's for this show fall apart as it was a cracker last year and a good chance to spread the word.

Cheers, Cliff.

My thoughts exactly Cliff

We had to pay £5 to get our cars in at AECC,but you never heard us moan

cheers BMBits  looks like things are back on track then

I'd say focus has to be on modified cars, it is the focus of the show.

I'd say as long as the car is modified to a fair degree over the std: i.e. wheels, bodywork etc etc. Showing off OEM cars to the modded crowd wont attract much interest.

The reverse is true at sth like F&M.. you need a modded car to stand out.. we have quite a few on this forum who would make up a good stand... othe rmbrs can then come along to the event and give support.

Good thing about only have 12 cars is that we can focus on them to get them looking top notch.

But is this to be an official BMWCCGB stand or simply sth like BMW Scottish-modders...

In saying that the odd std M car like Wendy's EVOSport would still look good in there..

I guess we make up a list.. if there are more than 12 cars then we vote for our favs.

So let's build a list and then see who can a) come and b)wants to come. If we have more than 12 (unlikley) then we vote.

Hopefully other mbrs will come to have a gander too.

We also need to firm up our slot with F&M this week and then organise polish, car shampoo, chamois leathers etc.

If we had a lap top then we could show film footage collected so far - Stephen - what do you think?

Pls wait until we all hear back from Tommy regarding attending the event, we can't decided until we know how many places we have if any.

Thanks.

Will do. I've spoken to Tommy but I know he's pushed for time -however hopefully we can confirm this ASAP. A few of us have now spoken to the F&M office  so hopefully we can confirm details etc.

we already have a list

Its on page 1

Rest assured my little 8LUR.. is a little more than standard..

glasgow/iscoupe wrote: pete,out of 7 cars on page 1 list,are these cars modified in as,ice systems,non factory bodykits,fancy paintjobs? as if there and no offence intented by this,kinda standard looking beemers,then dont you think the stand will look boring..

I also think M cars like Paul's superb CSL will gather more than enough interest and has enough std trick stuff to woo crowds plus he has beeeeeeg Brembos on to.

Aye,

We're all waiting on Shorty..
